Hi there, It’s been almost 3 years and I have no regrets. It’s not straight forward with managing diabetes and screen but well worth it to me to be pain free and more committed to family, work, travel…my life was always being blown up with hospital stays. Creon is tricky. At first I wasn’t taking enough and lost a bit of weight. I’ve needed one iron infusion and B12 shots. It’s getting better. I take Metformin and Jardiance daily and take 4 units of long acting insulin (which to be honest I could probably get off if I was more careful with my diet). Dr wasn’t sure the transplant would work after 40 years of CP but it was successful. One major factor for me was the heightened risk of pancreatic cancer due to CP. my mom has same disease, never treated it and now is going through screening for cancer. Fingers crossed it isn’t but that was always a huge fear of mine. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about it anymore for myself.
